  1. Means with similar superscripts (a, b or c) for the same MBI-ES subscale are not different (P >0.05) when comparing EE, DP and PA scores between fall and spring semesters. Reported scores for the medical professions for low range of experienced burnout were ≤18 for EE, ≤5 for DP and ≥40 for PA. Reported scores indicating moderate burnout in the medical professions were 19-26 for EE, 6-9 for DP and 34-39 while scores indicating high degree of burnout were ≥27 for EE, ≥10 for DP and ≤33 for PA [9].
